use openweathermap.org (was: Re: ANNOUNCE: xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.0 released)

[Bela Markus]

Why to change? Forecast presented by plugin is very different than 
forecast of local institutes both in temperature and rain. For example 
this Sunday will be fully cloudy with rain in the morning and afternoon, 
28.6C max by the Norwegians.

Local forecast showers and 34C.

openweathermap sunny, 29.4 C

Looking out the window it is cloudy, 24.2 C now. According to open... it 
is sunny, cluds 1%.

I would say forget openweathermap. Also there is a difference in local 
and Norvegian forecast, currend data seems to be OKI. I know, it is a 
weather, but...

regards... Bela
